Structuring the e-

Over the next two years, I taught this evening course on four consecutive Wednesdays.
It soon became apparent that there were many more interested in the content than the
program could accommodate. At the same time, I was getting frustrated with the faceto-
face didactic approach. Dennis and I agreed that I would re-purpose the course for
a blended delivery; incorporating the original materials I had developed.

The authors present the complete guide to ANSI standard C language programming. Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. The 2/E has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs.

The CD53 antigen is a member of the tetraspanin membrane protein family that is expressed in the lymphoid-myeloid lineage. We have studied the implication of CD53 antigen in signal transduction by determining the eﬀect of its ligation on the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in diﬀerent cell types. Ligation of the rat or human CD53 antigen induces a threeto fourfold transient activation of JNK activity that peaks at 3–5 min. The eﬀect was detected by assaying the endogenous or exogenous (transfected) JNK activity....

Consistency of corpus annotation is an essential property for the many uses of annotated corpora in computational and theoretical linguistics. While some research addresses the detection of inconsistencies in positional annotation (e.g., partof-speech) and continuous structural annotation (e.g., syntactic constituency), no approach has yet been developed for automatically detecting annotation errors in discontinuous structural annotation.

This paper presents a dependency language model (DLM) that captures linguistic constraints via a dependency structure, i.e., a set of probabilistic dependencies that express the relations between headwords of each phrase in a sentence by an acyclic, planar, undirected graph. Our contributions are three-fold. First, we incorporate the dependency structure into an n-gram language model to capture long distance word dependency. Second, we present an unsupervised learning method that discovers the dependency structure of a sentence using a bootstrapping procedure. ...

In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been used more and more to solve complex tasks in different disciplines, ranging from Data Mining to Information Retrieval or Natural Language Processing (NLP). These tasks often require the processing of structured input, e.g., the ability to extract salient features from syntactic/semantic structures is critical to many NLP systems. Mapping such structured data into explicit feature vectors for ML algorithms requires large expertise, intuition and deep knowledge about the target linguistic phenomena.

Fast food chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s operate all over the
United States. Therefore the market for fast food is a national market.
This statement is false. People generally buy fast food within their current
location and do not travel large distances across the United States just to buy
a cheaper fast food meal. Given there is little potential for arbitrage
between fast food restaurants that are located some distance from each other,
there are likely to be multiple fast food markets across the country....

Extensive evidence confirms that creating the conditions for a deep and efficient financial
system can contribute robustly to sustained economic growth and lower poverty (e.g., see
Beck, Levine, and Loayza 2000, Honohan 2004a, and World Bank 2001a). Moreover, in
all levels of development, continued efficient and effective provision of financial services
requires that financial policies and financial system structures be adjusted as needed in
response to financial innovations and shifts in the broader macroeconomic and institu-
tional environment....

In this chapter we introduce the main, and first, concepts that one has to grasp in order to
build, evaluate, purchase and sell financial structured products. Structured finance denotes
the art (and science) of designing financial products to satisfy the different needs of investors
and borrowers as closely as possible. In this sense, it represents a specific technique and
operation of the financial intermediation business. In fact, the traditional banking activity,
i.e.

This e-book is provided to help you understand what goodwill is, why it is such a valuable asset to you and the two most essential elements of your business that contribute to the value of its goodwill. We’ll then go on to discuss where marketing, and particularly online marketing, fits into the picture. The e-book is structured as follows: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 What is goodwill? Why is goodwill a valuable asset? How is it measured? How can you create goodwill? How does the Internet fit in? Summary

When we talked to colleagues and friends during the last few months about our
e-business book project, many of them asked whether we were arriving too late with
this book. They reminded us that the Internet bubble had burst three years ago and
that most online companies had since gone bankrupt. This is certainly true, yet we
nonetheless believe that it is indeed a very timely moment to publish a book on
e-business and strategy.

The use of fibre optic sensors in structural health monitoring has rapidly accelerated in recent years. By embedding fibre optic sensors in structures (e.g. buildings, bridges and pipelines) it is possible to obtain real time data on structural changes such as stress or strain. Engineers use monitoring data to detect deviations from a structure’s original design performance in order to optimise the operation, repair and maintenance of a structure over time.

Methods using Time Structure
The model of independent component analysis (ICA) that we have considered so far consists of mixing independent random variables, usually linearly. In many applications, however, what is mixed is not random variables but time signals, or time series.
